When I jumped off the train in Villefranche sur Mer tonight I ran straight into one.

Grafitti artists were doing their thing....and doing it right in front of a bunch of interested police officers!

Having my cameras handy, I started to shoot the colourful scene.

Actually, it was all totally legal, and was part of 'Franchement Art' (Art exhibiton and festival), currently taking place in Villefranche.

One of the artists told me the police were making frequent appearances thanks to some vigilant train drivers, who each time they passed through the station gave them a quick emergency call, which in turn meant groups of different officers turning up at various times of the day asking the same questions!

A little more communication may come in handy for next year's event!

The guys were great, happy for me to snap away while they were creating....merci bien!

I spent some time talking to the girls working there, and they wanted to reiterate to me that all profits from this shop go directly to their organization in Nepal, Peace & Beautiful ChildrenWelfare,as well as to the school they have set up in Kathmandu.

Both the school and the organization help educate, shelter, feed and provide much needed health care to Nepalese children.

Take a look at their website,and if you are in Nice pop in to the shop. Enjoy learning more about the work they do, purchase one of their gorgeous Nepalese artisanal made products, and at the same time help the children of Nepal.

Anytime is the right time for a spa treatment, and if it were at all possible, I would happily spend most of my day with my face down a hole enjoying a body massage, or tail down feet up for a foot or leg massage.

In fact, I've never met anyone who wouldn't jump at the opportunity for at least an hour of massage bliss in their day.

As I perch myself uncomfortably on the couch with my laptop (no space for a table and chair where I am), and as I get progressively stiffer by the minute, I'm dreaming of a massage and some TLC here on the Cote d'Azur in France....and, just in case you are also in the area, here are a few addresses to add some tender loving care to your day!
